I was alone, I didn't know what would I do

Maybe sing, maybe shave, maybe think things through

Or hide behind drink or sleeping

So I dreamt I was alone in a crowded place

And I wanted to speak

But I could not say

'Cos Jackie's still sad about it



And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand

Oh it's a shame about you

And though it happened long ago

Don't forget what made me so mean and cruel

It's a shame about you



I'm alone and cold outside the gate

Let me warm up for heaven's sake

Don't show me no blind indifference

The sound in my ears

The breath in my nose

Who wants to help?

Ah nobody does

And Jackie's still sad about it



And I'm the everyman I do my best to understand

Oh it's a shame about you,

Though it happened long ago

Please don't forget what made me so mean and cruel

It's a shame about you



Ah ah ah ah ah Jackie's still sad about it

Jackie's still sad about it



Repeat until the deed is done
